Welcome to This Beautiful Frugal Life!

Let's save some time and some money together. Let's waste time and money, because we sometimes forget. Let's figure out a way to go for what we want. Let's parent with reckless abandon. Let's be sarcastic and really real and drink all the coffee that was ever made. Let's do life.

Costco Home Mailer Coupon Matchups: January 30 – February 23

The new Costco coupon mailer starts this Thursday January 30th. I ran in to the store this week to check on prices for you, here are some of my favorites. These prices were gathered from my local store, so your prices may vary slightly.

All prices listed are the shelf price minus the discount from the home mailer, so all would be your final price at checkout.

You may have noticed that your mailer looks a little different this month. No more clipping coupons! For all the “coupon” offers found in the mailer, you now either bring in your booklet to be scanned by the cashier or download the free Costco app through iTunes or Google Play. The app is a fantastic new addition, you can easily search online offers and all the current coupon deals, find membership information or learn about all the different services Costco has to offer.

Ibotta is available at Costco now! It is a fun and easy app for the iPhone or Android that allows you to earn cash back on products you purchase. Just download the app on your mobile device, search for participating products by store and easily scan your receipt through your phone. Cash back will be automatically added to your Ibotta account and can be redeemed for gift cards or cash via PayPal.

{GROCERY DEALS}

Wild Planet Albacore Tuna (6/5 oz) on sale $10.99 (limit 5)*$1.83 per can, which I’m pretty sure is a good price for this brand

Seattle Seahawks “12th Man” Cupcakes (6 ct) on sale $6.99*Be sure to check out the bakery for other Seahawks-related items, these are super cute and HUGE. P.S. The tiny little grabby fingers don’t come with the cupcakes.

Along with all of our weekly (biweekly?) usual suspects, we will definitely be picking up the K-Cups for our Keurig we just got for Christmas. We mostly use our refillable K-Cup, but it’s nice to have the disposable cups on hand for busy mornings. We will also stock up on batteries, I’m convinced somebody in our house eats them. We are pretty well stocked on Finish tabs, paper towels and laundry detergent, otherwise I would pick those up as well.

I recently updated my Pantry/Household Stock-Up List with tons of Costco prices. If you are looking for a specific price or looking to compare a Costco price with what I consider a stock-up price, definitely check out the list.

Did you notice the PG rebate with the costco flyer this month? (Buy $100 get $20 costco card). Did you think this was a good deal? I was getting Charmin, Bounty, and batteries already, and disposable cheap razors, what are other peoples thoughts?
